Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014074626A1] A power distribution platform is provided to deliver electrical power to end users who lack a reliable connection to the public electrical grid. This power distribution platform includes a microgrid controller that provides power and manages account status information for a plurality of end user destinations. Customers may prepay for electrical service using a mobile phone and any mobile payment provider. These prepayment amounts are processed by a host system provided using a cloud computing platform and then transmitted for local storage on the microgrid controller. The microgrid controller monitors power usage from each end user destination and when a particular end user destination is running low on prepaid credits, an alert may be transmitted to the user's mobile device reminding the user to make additional prepayments for continued service.
